Did you have the closet built out with your personal needs in mind? What was the process like?
"Lucikly, I started with a great space that already took care of my fundamental needs: Large size, good lighting, and full-length mirrors. With the basics covered, everything else was icing. I definitely took into consideration functionality: Hanging versus shelving, cabinets versus roll-out trays, even boots versus flats. In the end, it wasn't a science. And getting down to the details is too limiting and defining. So, I turned my attention away from the math of it all and focused on what environment I wanted to create. As you know, with so many daughters, my closet becomes a haven for women between the ages of 15 and 30. Therefore, I incorporated plush carpet and seating to create an inviting and welcoming atmosphere."
